Washburn R60BCE Resonators americana/ukuleles

Designed in conjunction
with acclaimed Nashville musician, Richie Owens, the R60RCE/BCE have
unique features that set them apart from the majority of resonator
guitars. The R60BCE features a matte black finish and the R60RCE
features a matte amber flame maple finish. All other features are the
same for both models.

The R60RCE/BCE is a round neck, acoustic/electric resonator guitar
with a venetian cutaway for easy upper fret access. The body is
comprised of a maple top, back and sides - flame maple in the case of
the R60RCE - for powerful lows and rich mids. The top features a unique F
hole and pickguard and supports a custom proprietary coverplate of
Richie's design. It houses the spun aluminum cone and aluminum spider
bridge for great sustain and a maple and ebony tipped top saddle for
added crispness.

The maple neck is capped with a 20 fret rosewood fingerboard. String
spacing, neck and nut width are wider than standard, 48mm at the nut,
to facilitate fingerstyle playing and fast and precise slide work. The
Wilkinson Deluxe tuners feature green buttons and have a 15:1 ratio for
quick, accurate tuning.

At the heart of the R60RCE/BCE's electronics is a Lace Sensor pickup
with one volume and 1 tone control. This pickup has great overall
balance and clarity, capturing the true essence, versatility and soul of
this unique instrument.

Richie Owens was brought up in a bluegrass family and began playing
Dobro when he was just a boy. By the time he was in his teens, he was
building and fixing his own instruments. Today, Richie designs, builds
or repairs instruments for the likes of Nils Lofgren, Ron Wood and The
Dixie Chicks. He recently was on tour with Dolly Parton as a featured
performer, playing mandolin on her "Vintage Tour".
